SUMMARY:Essaouria\, Morocco\, Yoga Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Bright and breezy Essaouira\, on Morocco’s Atlantic coast\, is an enchanting\, laid-back alternative to the frenetic melting-pot of Marrakesh. The town’s name means “little picture” in Arabic\, and it’s a painter’s dream location\, with a vibrant blue-and-white “medina” (inner walled city)\, enclosed by fairy-tale\, sand-coloured ramparts and imposing stone gates (“Babs”). Beyond the colourful port\, rolling waves and a wide buttery beach stretching for miles complete the canvas. \nEssaouira lies on the crossroads between two tribes: the Arab Chiadma to the north and the Haha Berbers in the south. Add to that the Gnawa\, who came originally from further south in Africa\, and the Europeans\, and you get a rich cultural mix. \n \nLargely due to the coastal wind – the beautifully named alizee\, or taros in Berber – the town is largely bypassed by the hordes of beach tourists who descend on other Atlantic Coast destinations in summer\, allowing Essaouria (essa-weera\, or es-sweera in Arabic) to retain its traditional culture and character.  Known as the ‘Wind City of Africa’\, it attracts plenty of windsurfers between April and November\, but the majority of visitors come here in spring and autumn to wander through the spice-scented lanes and palm-lined avenues of the fortified medina\, browse the many art galleries and boutiques\, relax in some of the country’s best hotels and watch fishing nets being mended and traditional boats being constructed in the hugely atmospheric port.   The bustling medina is much easier to navigate than you’d imagine. A series of linked streets forms a central spine leading directly from the northern gate\, Bab Doukkala\, to the main square of Place Moulay Hassan\, by the waterfront. Tiny passageways and pungent souks splay outwards like fish-bones. \n \nOur home away from home in Essaouria will be the charming\, intimate guest house La Maison des Artistes\, situated directly on the coast with stunning panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and town.   I have reserved the entire Riad (guest house) for our intimate group\, which will be a maximum of 14 people.  There are a variety of rooms available as well as the stunning Pavillion de César Loft for that extra special experience of a private terrace\, large open space and panoramic 360 degree ocean views.    All rooms have their own private bathroom.  Breakfast will be served daily at the Riad\, and we will then have the opportunity to experience a variety of local restaurants serving fine fresh cuisine for dinner and lunch.  I will be arranging for a guide to give us a taste of the rich history of the Medina. \n \nRetreat Includes: \n  \n\nDaily Morning Yoga Practice with Claire Copersino\nFreshly prepared breakfast\n7 nights at La Maison des Artistes\nFull access to the roof-top terrace and common spaces throughout the Riad\n3 Afternoon Yoga/Meditation Sessions with Claire Copersino\nTea available until 7p\n\n  \nPrices for your Pleasure \n“Venise” & “ROI” rooms  with skylights\, windows onto the terrace\, private bath ~ $1299 pp \n“Des Voyageurs” & “Florence”rooms ~ Patio\, \nOcean and Remparts View ~ $1599 pp \n“Flaubert” & “Scala” ~ Terraced Rooms ~ open space\, Ocean View ~ $1750 pp \n“Pavillion de César” ~ large open loft with private terrace and Panoramic 360 degree ocean views $2200 pp \n \nAll prices are per person\, based upon double occupancy.  Private Room is double so strongly urge sharing 🙂  All rooms\, with exception of Flaubert and Scala can be either twin beds or double.  Flaubert and Scala can ONLY be double bed. \n$750 deposit to secure your spot\, $1500 per room.  Deposit not refundable after April 1st 2019.  I strongly recommend you buy travel insurance for peace of mind just in case the unexpected happens.  As I’m sure you can understand\, I cannot be held responsible for your plans changing so please strongly consider protecting yourself. \n

SUMMARY:THE CLAIRE REBOOT WEEKEND RETREAT
DESCRIPTION:HAPPIEST\, HEALTHIEST  YOU THIS SUMMER!!! \nYOUR HEALTH REIMAGINED. \nClaire has been providing health related services on the North Fork for almost 20 years and after becoming a certified health coach and advocate 8 years ago has been coaching privately as an adjunct to teaching yoga and leading yoga retreats.   She is now expanding these services into a variety of group experiences to empower and enable our community to take charge of their health on a daily basis by integrating a variety of seemingly simple and yet powerful protocols and practices that quickly add up to remarkable improvements physically\, mentally and emotionally.  It is time to reimagine and take charge of your health and Claire is completely committed to getting you there.  It is a super fun journey and has not a thing to do with deprivation or lack but rather everything to do with a growing abundance from the inside out.  Promise! \n  \nTHE CLAIRE SPRING REBOOT WEEKEND is a three day\, hand-held\, live and direct experience to give you a variety of practices and lifestyle habits that you will be completely supported in integrating into the *new normal* of your every-day life.  We will practice yoga daily\, as well as be guided on how to establish a simple daily meditation practice.   Prior to our weekend you will be given a document outlining daily protocols that you will then begin to integrate into your daily habits and practices.   There will be time every day for group discussion\, questions and Claire will introduce various topics around nutrition\, food and beneficial lifestyle practices each day.  You will leave with a meal to take home that Claire will have prepared for you\, and will get recipes on what you’re eating as well as a variety of suggestions and recipes for other meals over the weekend and beyond.  Claire will provide support to you during the weekend and on-going as you need\, in order to integrate it all into your true new normal. \n  \nThe point above all is that your health is an on-going journey and investment.  It is not something to focus on randomly through dieting (they don’t work\, btw) or through periodic “cleansing”\, but rather to gradually integrate new practices into your daily life that keep you in greater balance and harmony and optimal health ALL THE TIME\, supporting your body in daily de-toxing and cleansing\, which stacks up to a healthier\, happier you over the long term. \n  \nSESSION BEGINS ON JUNE 7TH AND RUNS THROUGH JUNE 9TH \nALL SESSIONS HAPPEN AT NORTH FORK YOGA SHALA\, GREENPORT \nSCHEDULE \nFRIDAY JUNE 7TH 5pm ~ 8pm \nSATURDAY JUNE 8TH  ~ 10.30pm – 1pm \nSUNDAY JUNE 9TH  ~ 11am – 1pm \nFEE ~ $395 \nEMAIL CLAIRE AT:  clairecopersino@gmail.com to register.  Space is very limited as our group will be small. \n

SUMMARY:Madeira\, Portugal Retreat
DESCRIPTION:In fall 2012 we discovered the enchanted Isle of Madeira\, 400 miles off the coast of Morocco and it is time for us to return and share another extraordinary week of yoga\, hiking\, fabulous locally grown\, caught and prepared cuisine\, and magical shared experiences that will last a lifetime.  Madeira is a place that instantly captures your heart and imagination and awakens that place inside each of us that time forgot.  Our home for the week will be the Pestana Grand Hotel\, a beautiful\, Atlantic Ocean-front hotel on the outskirts of Funchal\, the capital of Madeira\, with every comfort close to hand.  We will practice yoga every morning\, in our own private penthouse studio with an open balcony directly overlooking the ocean. From practice\, we head to the bountiful breakfast served daily at the Grand with every conceivable breakfast food imaginable and an unlimited supply to boot.  So done right\, this copious breakfast can just about get you through until supper (ok\, maybe a snack along the way\, as you see fit).  Madeira is world famous for its stunning natural beauty and unique micro climate that boasts a truly fascinating depth and array of fauna and flora.  The volcanic origins of the island have created a mountainous interior surrounded by stunning Atlantic ocean – truly a jewel floating some 400 miles off the coast of Morocco.  The island is teeming with superb hiking and we will spend\nseveral afternoons exploring some of the islands best hikes with our very own guide.  Depending on timing of our hikes\, I will do my very best to serve you up an afternoon practice/meditation prior to us enjoying supper together in one of Madeiras superb restaurants.  As you might imagine\, seafood is a speciality here (the fresh sardines were a favorite)\, but the island is rich in agriculture with terraced farms and gardens adorning the landscape\, as well as meats sourced both on island and from the mainland of Portugal\, so all will be more than happy.  Superb Spa/massage treatments are available at the Grand\, as is a sauna\, indoor and outdoor pool\, fully equipped gym\, free wifi\, and several restaurants as well as room service. \nRetreat Includes: \n\nDaily (twice daily\, as schedule allows) Yoga & Meditation with Claire Copersino\nUnlimited American Breakfast with vast array of freshly prepared foods to suit every palate\n7 nights accommodations at Pestana Grand Hotel\nUse of all facilities at Pestana Grand (sauna\, jacuzzi\, turkish bath\, gym\, lounges\, free wifi in all public areas\n\nI will also arrange several (read: 4 or more) hikes for afternoons\, as well as evening meals at a variety of restaurants\, transportation to and from the airport and as needed\, all of which will incur additional costs that we will share. \nPrices for your Pleasure: \nDouble Occupancy\, shared room\, $1750 per person \nPrivate Room\, $2250 \nCurrently round trip flights to Madeira on TAP out of Newark are pricing at just under $1000.  It is best if we try to be on the same flights as much as possible – not by any means necessary but certainly easier for you.  As you make your deposit I will guide you on the flights to book.  Overnight flight departing Newark on September 26th to mainland Portugal (either Lisbon or Porto) arriving in morning of September 27th followed by connection to Funchal\, Madeira.  We will discuss. \nYour non-refundable deposit of $750 secures your spot.  Email me today at clairecopersino@optonline.net with your questions and to reserve.
